About this role

<p>UpLift & BetterHelp – Redefining Access to Mental Healthcare</p> <p>At UpLift, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we're rethinking the mental healthcare model. UpLift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find Therapists and Psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan. </p> <p>While 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year. At the same time, only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider, and insurer — empowering patients to find the best care for their needs at a price they can afford.</p> <p><strong>Why Join UpLift</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Flexible earnings model*:</strong> Compensation includes both patient care and collaboration activities.
